A decision has been made on the referee for Saturday’s Der Klassiker between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena.
According to Kicker, the highly anticipated clash will be officiated by Tobias Stieler.
Daniel Siebert was originally scheduled to take charge of the clash but has been forced to withdraw after sustaining an injury during Hoffenheim’s 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday, which saw him leave the pitch at half-time.
Stieler, 45, has now been selected as his replacement and is set to oversee his fifth meeting between the two German giants.
The experienced referee was already at the centre of attention on Tuesday evening, having made two controversial decisions during Eintracht Frankfurt’s 3-1 DFB-Pokal victory over Hamburger SV.
